Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.

for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"

After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, or of Tiberias,

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

1-2 miles], they saw Jesus walking on the lake and coming near the ship, and they were afraid.

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?

Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little portion.

There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

And Jesus said, 'Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

They gathered them therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

Then the people, seeing the miracle which Jesus did, were saying, that, This is truly the prophet who is coming into the world.

Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.

and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."

They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.

The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they boarded the small boats themselves and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."

Then they asked Him, “What are we to do, so that we may habitually be doing the works of God?”

“What sign then are You going to do so we may see and believe You?” they asked. “What are You going to perform?

Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

All those will come to me who are the Father's gift to me, and never will I reject one of them;

and the will of him who sent me is that I lose none of those who are his gift to me, but that I raise them all up on the last day.

The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

and they were saying, "Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

Jesus answered and said to them: Murmur not among your selves;

I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and yet died.

Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?'

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you?

What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

Jesus, therefore, said unto the twelve - Are, ye also, wishing to withdraw?

"Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages.

And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose [all] twelve of you, and one of you is a devil?" [Note: The word "devil" means "adversary" or "opponent"].

And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

Now it was almost time for the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles [Note: This was also called "Festival of Shelters," and was one of three principal, annual Jewish festivals and commemorated the occasion of the Israelites living in tents or shelters during their forty year wandering in the desert].

So His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do.

For no one does anything in secret and [yet] he himself desires to be {publicly recognized}. If you are doing these [things], reveal yourself to the world!"

for not even were his brethren believing in him.

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].”

Nevertheless, no one would speak openly about him because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.

But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

and the Jews were wondering, saying, 'How hath this one known letters -- not having learned?'

In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

He who speaks on his own accord seeks glory and honor for himself. But He who seeks the glory and the honor of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness or deception in Him.

Moses gave you the Law, didn't he? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

The crowd answered, “You have a demon [You are out of Your mind]! Who wants to kill You?”

Jesus replied, “I did one work, and you are all astounded.

Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers)

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

Do not judge by appearance [superficially and arrogantly], but judge fairly and righteously.”

Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, 'Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ?

But we know where this Man is from; whenever the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”

Then Jesus called out as He taught in the temple, “You know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come on my own initiative [as self-appointed], but He who sent Me is true, and Him you do not know.

They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, "Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, [will he]?"

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things [under their breath] about Him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent guards to arrest Him.

Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

The Jews therefore said to one another, Where is he about to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given ; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Some from amongst the multitude, therefore, having hearkened unto these words, were saying - This, is, in truth, the prophet.

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

So the people were divided over him;

And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

So, [when] the Temple guards [See verse 32] returned to the leading priests and Pharisees, they were asked, "Why did you not bring Jesus here?"

Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

They responded, “Are you also from Galilee? Search [and read the Scriptures], and see [for yourself] that no prophet comes from Galilee!”

and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women [to death]. So what do You say [to do with her—what is Your sentence]?”

(Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.

And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She answered, “No one, Lord!” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more.”]

Then the Pharisees told Him, “You are testifying on Your own behalf; Your testimony is not valid.”

Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

You judge according to human standards [just by what you see]. I do not judge anyone.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true and My decision is right; for I am not alone [in making it], but I and the Father who sent Me [make the same judgment].
